Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 799: Coincidentally Bumping into an Acquaintance
"My wife is still asleep," he reasoned, "so it’s even less likely for outsiders to see this private side of us."
His arms tightened slightly around her:
"Is the room cleaned up?" he asked coolly.
"Young Master, it’s already been prepared. You and Eldest Young Madam can check in directly."
Seeing this, Jiang Ye finally seemed satisfied.
Without another word, he carried her toward the elevator.
As for the group of hotel managers, they, of course, scurried to follow.
Inside the elevator.
It was already silent; no one spoke, and the atmosphere thickened even more.
This Young Master really wasn’t as easygoing as Zhou Er!
With Zhou Er, you didn’t have to hold your breath, and you could even crack a joke from time to time.
But in the rare presence of the Young Master, it was like being in front of an emperor; just his aura made it impossible not to feel weak at the knees.
Ah, one wonders how he is with his Eldest Young Madam?
Suddenly, the curiosity was piqued.
With a "ding," the elevator arrived.
Jiang Ye stepped out slightly to the side:
"There’s no need for you to follow. Go about your duties."
Huh?
"Of course, Young Master."
Jiang Ye carried her far off, out of sight.
The group in the elevator drew a collective breath:
"Good heavens, every time we see him, it feels like torture!"
"No kidding; my back is all sweaty." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Mr. Jiang is much more approachable."
"You haven’t seen it. Mr. Jiang has to be all proper in front of him."
Tsk tsk.
Never mind your Mr. Jiang; even the chairman and his wife have to smile and nod in his presence.
And they’re his own parents.
There’s just no help for it; if they have a son as cold as ice, they just have to deal with it.
Fortunately, the family knows all too well that the ice is just a façade, that at heart, he’s really responsible, respectful to his elders; it’s just his mouth that’s venomous, plus he always wears a sour expression.
These gripes from the employees, of course, were unknown to Jiang Ye.
Holding her, he arrived at the room door and unlocked it with his fingerprint.
In fact, Lu Jing had woken up in the elevator, but with so many people around, she remained silent.
Now, she finally spoke up:
"Put me down."
"You’re awake?"
Lu Jing struggled a bit:
"Hurry up."
Being held for so long was really uncomfortable; her back was sore and tender.
Jiang Ye now put her down, just as the door opened.
Lu Jing shook her hands and stamped her feet:
"What time is it?"
"Around two, I guess."
???
This late?
No wonder they hadn’t gone back to the family housing area.
Seeing the woman still moving about:
"Are you uncomfortable?"
Uh.
"No, just stiff from being in one position for too long."
Jiang Ye reached out to grab her arm:
"Here?"
As he asked, he began to massage it.
The two of them stood in the doorway, not going in.
Suddenly, the next door opened, and out came a familiar face.
"Tell me, how much longer are you two going to be all lovey-dovey? I’ve got goosebumps just listening from inside."
???
Zhou Family’s Zhou Er?
What a coincidence.
Indeed, it was just that.
Zhou Er had come to Nanxi City for a project and had only checked in that evening. Who knew he’d witness such a spectacle in the middle of the night?
Normally, you wouldn’t get such an opportunity.
Lu Jing, feeling quite embarrassed, blushed and called out:
"Zhou Er."
However, Jiang Ye himself, without the slightest hint of embarrassment, continued to massage his wife’s arm and casually counter-questioned:
"What are you doing here?"
